La Tempête Brumes

“Soul of Man, how you resemble water. Destiny of Man, how you resemble the wind.” Goethe’s spirit resonates in this musical program. Traveling across vast plains, the foggy highlands of the north and lonely clearings, these people run away from their destiny to get a better taste of life, and underneath the moonlight, their senses rise. This night will be a feast, rythmed by passionate dances. It will be the occasion to hear again some popular laments, to listen closely to these melancholic melodies, sung around a grand campfire. These men and women, they are gypsies on a perpetual journey. The sound of their instruments excite the trees. They are also the lovers who leave their beds to meet in wonderfully fragrant gardens, far from their homes and fates.
